This blog documents the preservation of the Brookwood Phone Box.
The kiosk was decommissioned by British Telecom in early 2009, and acquired by the local council to be preserved for the village.
A small team of villagers set about restoring the phone box, and then preserving it for future generations.

Door priming completed

With a break in the weather, we have now completed priming the door with red oxide. Additionally, we have done a second coat of wood primer to the mahogany door surround. This was required partly because some Nitromors dripped on the wood we had already primed when I completed stripping the door on Friday.

Stripped the paint from a couple of the small cast iron glazing frames.

The kiosk is looking good now. To get the two sides primed, and with all the other bits and bobs going on behind the scenes, we have put in around 36 hours labour so far.
